Re: Lesabre car inspection

A typical vehicle inspection would or should be about 1 to 2 hrs labor. Into US dollars & depending on the shop hourly rate you're looking at $80-$200. Those are fair prices for both parties. Includes looking at the suspension, brakes, steering, lighting, belts and any other areas for safety. Then looking at the fluids to determine wear, like the trans, brakes, power steering or coolant & then inspecting for leaks and recording where & if any are found. Vehicle should be driven up to highway speeds, to also check transmission shifting or overheating issues sitting in idle after. These are the checks that I do when I certify a vehicle for a customer... or conducting a thorough check prior to purchase.

As far as who to go to? Only the locals can tell you. Researching on Google for shops & checking various reviews on different sites close to where the vehicle is located. Google maps, yelp, Facebook, etc. Each shop you research, check all platform of reviews. Those would probably give you the best & most honest insight.

Yes, it's a lot of homework but it'll save you money in the end. I hope this helps. Good luck & cheers!
